The (R)- and (S)- enantiomers of an optically active compound differ in

Question

The (R)- and (S)- enantiomers of an optically active compound differ in (A) their solubility in a chiral solvent (B) their reactivity with a chiral reagent (C) their optical rotation of plane polarised light (D) their melting points

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

R and S enantiomers differ only in terms of optical activity that is the direction in which they rotate plane polarized light. All their physical and chemical properties are similar

Q. The $(R)$ - and $(S)$ - enantiomers of an optically active compound differ in

their solubility in a chiral solvent

their reactivity with a chiral reagent

their optical rotation of plane polarised light

their melting points

$R$ and $S$ enantiomers differ only in terms of optical activity that is the direction in which they rotate plane polarized light. All their physical and chemical properties are similar
